    Get the first post-ASB win, series Win, and sweep.

    Astros "best" pitchers on deck.

    Lucas Spence is making his MLB debut tonight. He signed as an undrafted free agent in 2024 out of Southern Illinois-Edwardsville, so technically, he is the first player from the Astros’ 2024 draft class to make his MLB debut.

    I can’t imagine how special that must have been for him and his dad. Initial callups are one of the most awesome and underrated aspects of MLB.

    Striking out with runners on always seems to kill a rally

    Most predictable K followed by a DP of all time there

    Lambert looking absolutely awesome this inning. Dotting the edge of the zone like a boss.

    This team is their own worst enemy as they consistently kill their own momentum.

    This pitcher should be on the ropes and the Astros have bailed him out.

    Hopefully he keeps this up and we'll all be like, "Where were you when Spence took 10 pitches to walk in his first MLB AB"
